Utah presents a paradox in women's history as a state founded by
deeply religious pioneers who supported polygamy but also a place
that offered women early suffrage and encouraged education and
leadership. Remarkable Utah Women tells the stories of seventeen
strong and determined women who broke through the social, cultural,
and political barriers of their times. The women in these pages
include Emmeline B. Wells, who served as president of both the
Mormon Relief Society and the Woman Suffrage Association of Utah;
the Bassett sisters, who ran with Butch Cassidy's Wild Bunch; and
Reva Beck Bosone, a US congresswoman and the state's first female
judge. The second edition features new biographies of historian
Helen Papanikolas, who meticulously researched Utah's immigrant
communities; Mae Timbimboo Parry, who collected and shared the
history of her Northwestern Shoshone people and brought to light
the horrors of the Bear River Massacre; and Barbara Toomer, an
activist who organized daring protests to demand a more accessible
world for people with disabilities. Each of these women
demonstrated an independence of spirit that still has the power to
inspire us today. Read about their extraordinary lives and outsized
personalities in this captivating collection that tells the story
of Utah through the voices and legacies of indomitable women.
